Hi,

I’m trying to load an external flv to a flv playback component that is on the FLA timeline. I was able to load external flv and custom skin with AS3.0 but the client wants to have just one swf, not a swf calling another swf for the custom skin.

The external flv has to be from the flash vars.  
AS code:  
root.loaderInfo.parameters.videoPath

html code:  
var flashvars = {  
videoPath: “hhvideo.flv”  
};

anyway to do this?

thanks in advance
